Bypass Verizon hotspot? - Moto X Q&A

I am on a Verizon Moto x rooted(non dev edition) and a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Apparently it does not include hotspot. Is there any way to bypass the Verizon verification on the hotspot in the settings menu? I have done this on older phones, so how can I do this with the Moto x?

Just to clarify, I don't want to use foxfi or something like that, I want the default settings app.

Yes. If you are on a MAC you can use my toolkit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591875
or just follow this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536166

Thanks so much, I'm not on a Mac, but I was fine doing it the manual way.

Try this:
Settings > Wireless & Networks > More... > Mobile networks > Network Mode > [Select CDMA/EvDo auto]
Then reboot.
Is that a joke?

That's not an option or I wouldn't be asking.

No need to be an asshole about it. That is the way it is for other VZW phones.
I apologize I thought you were mocking me. The options are for global, lte/cdma, or gsm/umts

Yup, that very one. In my area 4G is very inconsistant, downloaded this, it works like a charm.
May I ask what is the point of this? 4g is kinda strange in my town and next few towns.

4G lte is a battery killer compared to 3g, and my house has very low 4g signal. Device holds 1 or 2 bars 4G instead of stronger 3g. No way to manually switch anymore. Need app that does it.

This is a great find for Verizon tethering

I searched the net for best blue tooth tethering. And it works great. I was online in minutes.

How did you get that to work with bluetooth?
Just out of curiosity what Phone/Rom are you using because I run a stock MJ7 rooted on my S4 on Verizon and have had ZERO issues bluetooth tethering without the assistance of any BT Tethering apps flawlessly since day 1. Again not being an ass just curious.

Good talk.

Vzw de root/tether question

So if my moto x comes, it will be minutes before I leave on vacation. In order to use tethering will I need root? And to get root, do I need to have a computer? Need to decide if I'll have to bring a laptop vs just a chromebook.
You don't need root to tether on jellybean but on kitkat you do and yes you need a computer to root.
Side note: Long term you should just pay to tether. I bit the bullet and did. The security issues and messy root methods for kit Kat are just not worth it when you consider how bad it would be for someone to have access to your gmail account. To each their own though.

Tether app or Root?

I currently have the S4 and was fortunate to order a moto x today with their discount. It should come in a few weeks. In the meantime, I currently tether with my rooted S4. What options do you recommend to tether with kit Kat? Paid app recommendation? Root?
Thanks in advance!

What carrier are you on? Which Moto X did you order?
If you have the particular combination of ordering the XT1053 (T-Mobile or unlocked model) and use AT&T for a carrier you don't need to root to tether. It works natively. The phone doesn't do the AT&T entitlement check.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48307338
If you are in a different combination of carrier or model you will probably need to root to be able to tether. Do this and you can use the native tethering solution:

Tried, does not work. Got errors.
I did the original post for the above mentioned thread. I don't know why you are getting errors. It works for me. I've been streaming my Xbox live thru it for 4-5 days. Seems to be working for me.
